Large house, formerly the Rectory. Early C18, with mid C19 alterations and service wing. Brick walls and slate roof. The main block has a symmetrical front (north-west) of 2 storeys and attic, 2.1.2 windows. The former double pile roof was replaced by a single mansard of slate, with 2 small flat roofed dormers (with sashes); fully moulded eaves cornice, raised in the centre as a pediment, containing a painted lunette. Flemish bond brickwork with rubbed flat arches, 1st floor band, plinth, and marks indicating the removal of stucco pilasters forming the central feature (i.e. supporting the pediment). Victorian sashes, 2 narrow lights flank the entrance. Victorian doorcase with cornice on large brackets and plain pilasters, enclosing the C18 arched opening, containing a radiating fanlight and a 6-flush panelled door. The lower service wing extends on the north side, of 2 storeys, 4 windows; low pitched hipped slate (double pile) roof, with coupled eaves brackets, Flemish bond brick walls with cambered openings, sashes in reveals, and ½ glazed door. The rear elevation is almost identical, but without the pediment and having a lower central (staircase) window above the Victorian classical doorcase; the wing is less regular of 3 windows. Inside, there is much original work; the entrance hall has an archway, and at its rear a fine staircase with dado panelling. Most doorways have architraves and panelled doors, and there are several chimney pieces.
